Research Interests

I am mainly interested in extending and applying the experimental method to several problems in economics. Among other fields, I applied it in:

incentives to innovate under different Intellectual Property regimes, copyleft, open source ;
risk elicitation methods, their properties and the development of better ones
behavioral industrial organization – consumer behavior in spuriously complex markets, and firms reactions
framing effects on (common knowledge of) rationality in sequential games
social choice under the veal of uncertainty
motives of punishment in public good games

In Grenoble I apply the experimental method to food consumption choices.
